- Ruler
- Fabric marker
- Fabric pins or clips
- Needle and thread
- Rice and other filling
How to Make a Fabric Doorstop:
Step 1
Cut the fabric into two 9×7½-inch pieces, then stack them together with their right sides facing, and pin them in place. Stitch the sides and bottom with a ¼-inch seam allowance, then pinch the corners so that the seams are lined up as shown in the video, and pin them in place.
Step 2
Draw a line about 1½ to 2 inches from the corner, then stitch along the marked line backstitching from start to finish, and trim off the excess at ¼ inch from the stitching line. Repeat the same steps to the other corner, then turn the piece right side out, and poke the corners nicely.
Step 3
Fill it with rice or other filling that you want, then cut the webbing at about 6 inches long, and fold in the edges of the door stop’s opening about ½ inch. Next, fold the webbing in half, then insert it in the middle of the opening as demonstrated in the video, pin them together, and stitch it close with ¼ inch seam allowance backstitching at the start and finish.
